Positioned in Enfield's classic motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Enfield Bullet Electra 5S features a 346 cc (21.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18 HP (13.1 kW) at 5,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 32 Nm (23.6 lb-ft) at 3,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 52 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (3,000 rpm) and peak power (5,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Bullet Electra 5S measures 167.8 kg (370 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.32 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,370 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 100 km/h (62 mph).
